Hey guys,
At work, my phone's signal strength is erratic. All day long, my signal goes from 4 bars (-76 dBm) to 0 bars (-106 dBm) and then maybe 2 bars, and back to 4 bars. Rinse and repeat until the battery is completely drained, which only takes a matter of hours while my phone does this bizarre cycling
I am roaming at work but I don't see why this would cause this strange behavior. Has anyone seen this before and does anyone have any solutions for this? I am running the Blend 2.6.2 gingerbread ROM and I've tried a variety of modems, namely the EL29, EK02, FD02, and FD05 modems.
Thanks guys!
I would say to honestly try all the modems out there from the first one to the last one. I am on FC22 and must admit I have seen a change in my connection speeds and the way my phone responds to in certain areas. Unfortunately swapping out modems and possibly a clean install may be your only options.
Also contact Sprint and ask if a tower is down or being worked on in your area. Good luck
Edit: Also you should ask for this to be moved to Q&A since you would probably get a better response over there
All the modems suck right now.
You're screwed like all of us. We all have this issue.

Thanks, I'll continue to try out modems and see if I can find one that works well at work.
Also, good point on the moving of this thread to Q&A. Can any moderators help with this?

Not true for some there are better modems than others... If all suck for you then it may be time to switch carriers... LOL
Speeds are going to suck regardless but reception is affected occasionally by different modems, I would not of thought so myself but I have seen it happen with myself and a co-worker of mine that I had to change his modem due to bad reception at his house

When roaming I turn off 3g data when not in use to save battery life. There are simple data toggle widgets in market like data enabler for this.

The only modems I had any issue with, were the first two ICS builds. Everything else has been fine. I live in Nashville, and am always driving around. From suburban to metro areas, the only issues are when you get far out away from service. I've personally never dropped a call, but been on the receiving end of many dropped ATT calls. I have average data speeds away from the city, and above average inside. We've had 4G for almost a year and a half, but it is very disappointing.
I had ATT years ago, and dropped calls everywhere.

for some reason after i flash a rom i will only get 1x and i have to go back to a stock rom to get 3g back. has anyone else had this problem?
Check your prls and modems
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
i have updated the prls and i was on the latest modem and it was still doing it. then i tried downgrading to LF9 modem with no change. im on the LG2 build.
Which ROM? On Cm10 early builds I only showed 1x but if doing speed tests and looking at dbm signal output I was still getting 3g speeds.
i first tried it on blazer ROM 1.5 then i seen there was an update so i tried 1.6 but got the same thing
i have also just tried it with Team VeNuM's blue themed rom and i have the same outcome
What kind of real speeds are you getting when you speed test? It's entirely possible that you truly only have 1x speeds in your area. Sprint has "strongly encouraged" Samsung and HTC to always show 3G in areas where there is supposedly 3G. Most custom ROMs have corrected this by showing actual speeds in their ROMs. So it could also be that you truly are only getting 1x and the stock ROM is falsely reporting 3G.
ok well now that im home (i was away on vacation in the Poconos) i ran a speed test and got decent numbers this is the results of 3 tests i ran /ping- 92, 77, 76 /download kB/s- 214.6, 236.8, 152.5 /upload kB/s- 78.3, 77.8, 101.6. so i backed up, flashed Team VeNuM's rom and wiped cache but when the phone booted it showed 3g so maybe b/c i was in PA it might have been saying i was in 3g when i really wasnt proving what you were saying jdogg836. so heres the results of the speed test /ping- 121, 134, 206 /download kB/s- 89.1, 67, 64.4 /upload kB/s- 61.1, 28, 58.6 it's showing much slower speeds but im not sure why

Call sprint...lots of antennas are only around 60-70% right now....got to do with upgrading system from my understanding...also...upgrade your radio to LG8 and see what happens. :fingers-crossed:
but that big of a drop within minutes? yea im on the LF9 modem i downgraded from the LG2. are people having better luck with the LG8 from the LG2?

Check to see if the time you flashed has the 1x/3g mod... stock Roms only ever show 3g even when they are on 1x..
You can also go into the market and download netmonitor which will tell you your true network type.
I'm almost willing to bet that's the problem.
I too live in pa and most northern parts only have 1x service.. just so you know.
Harrisburg/reading/Lebanon is where you start getting 3g.
Edit. Most of what I said was already explained. Didn't see jdoggs post.

Personally I've has this problem since day 1 with this phone. On Airave it seems worse than being connected to towers for me. Sometimes mine goes from 3g to 1x to no data. Turning mobile data off and on usually fixes the issue. I've tried all radios, no difference, LG8 seems to keep connection longer.

I've had newer one since the day it came out, no problems with any other phone I've had, just s3. I believe the problem to be the phone, sprint, or my isp.
this message brought to you by my GalaxyS3
I have had modem issues since day one too, I got a new phone because of the poor signal and it's the same.
I tried all the radios this weekend and found no real gains with any. I saw the 1x indicator with the CM10 7/29 build and the AOKP ROM.
Stock based ROM all showed 3G, but it would make sense if they are lying, although I would see 1x in distant lands on my EVO.
I will try the speed test.
It's also worth noting that I have a friend with a stock HTC X one getting about the same signal as me, so it may well be that sprint is messed up here.

I'm not sure at this point, tried everything under the sun, just today I got into the Airvana management page and set it to my router's reserved IP for my Airvana. I think its Sprint also, but you know when I'm right under the Airvana, it seems my s3 keeps solid data connection. This could very well be a weak radio in the S3. All I know is I never had this issue with any previous phones. Maybe 1 day someone will figure this out as Sprint Airave techs are worthless, I feel like I know more than they do!
My problem is even worse since I rooted and flashed AOKP. Hopefully someone can help here. I can make phone calls, it shows 1x, but I don't have a data connection...
Wondering if it is my area. I haven't had issues before. Maybe I should call Sprint to see if they are messing with the towers.
UPDATE: Fixed by flashing stock rom and using the ##72786# in the phone keypad thankfully.

Some basic info: Sprint SGS3; rooted, manually updated to LG8. Otherwise, stock.
Since then, I've noticed that my phone doesn't "hold on" to 4G as well as it did pre root and update. For example, the 4G icon will be next to the signal strength in my status bar then it will disappear, there will just be signal strength with no connection indicator then either 3G or 4G will appear. I don't ever remember this happening before root/update. I haven't flashed anything else on the phone, and the main reason I rooted in the first place was so I could easily tether.
Has anyone else had this same issue?
Its funny that the LG8 update was supposed to help users that were having LTE connectivity issues... this happens to me on occasion too. i would venture to say that a combination of LTE still being in early development and coverage being spotty at times even in areas where u may have gotten full coverage at one point plus the "Connection Optimizer" that often jacks with ur data connection switching between wifi, 3g and 4g(LTE)... try doing a ##72786# to reactivate ur phone on the network... this will automatically re-associate ur data profile with the network and update prl info as well...

Thanks for the reply. I'll try the ##72786# and report back with results.
You make a fair point about LTE still getting off the ground, but I will say that pre-root/update, my phone held 4G consistently. Whatever the issue is, hopefully it will sort itself out soon, or enough people will have the same issue that it spurs some action on Sprint's side.
I'm in Houston, FWIW.
Edit/Update: ##72786# seemed to do the trick. HOWEVER, about 15 minutes ago, I attempted to turn on WiFi Tether. My laptop connected with no issues, but about 5 minutes into it, neither the 4G nor the 3G icons appeared next to the signal strength meter. ##72786#'d again, just to see if it made a difference, updated PRL and Profile. Things are holding steady so far, but we'll see how long this lasts.
I'll try to update later in the day.

Glad to see it worked. This is by no means a permanent fix. As u flash different roms thru out ur phones life span its a good idea to run this code every so often as flashing can overtime degrade baseband performance as those files dont get replaced with a rom but different roms interact with those files depending on the tweaks made at software level...

I am up here in Sugar Hill. Sprint Map shows you deep in LTEville. I worked in Tucker last year when a co-worker got a Verizon Tunderbolt. His 4G was screaming. He was getting 40+ down!
But the map also shows Cumming in LTE land so I drove over there just to see what LTE looked like and I saw the icon flicker on for about 30 sec. but it never really was there.

Just flashed back to LG2, so I'll update later and see how things are going.
I have running the Blazer ROM 1.7 and for some reason all my speeds are crawling slow. This includes 3g, 4g, and wifi. I've tried multiple wifi spots that are faster on other devices. Do I need to update my radio's or what options do I have to help the speed?
I hate to try and unroot and go back to stock.
It could be Sprint working on your area, tower maintenance, or an outage in your area. I get good speeds on Blazer v1.7 so it's definitely not the ROM.
EDIT: Try reflashing the LG8 modem, maybe something's up with the currently installed modem?
Try a bunch of different radios. You were probably on an old radio and updating to the LG8 radio included with Blazer ROM ****ed you up. I recommend trying 1 radio a day and doing multiple signal (dB) and speed tests throughout the day. Use the one that gives the best results.

Thanks for the advice but I read through the thread already and it doesn't seem like it will improve drastically. So I rather not attempt to flash a modem that may cause a soft brick. My brother has a N900a and gets almost triple the speed of my lte. What gives?
I dont always get fast speeds. I'm guessing at&t phones get higher priority than other phones. There is a build.prop that you can flash/edit that may or may not work. I, myself, haven't made any mods because I get higher speeds usually. Not always. I am on a 900T but using an international 9005 rom with T-Mobile modem still. It really boils down to is the risk flashing a modem or build.prop worth it. In downtown houston I rarely dip below 10mb/s on LTE and occasionally see over 20mb/s. The congestion is real bad here so it is very often I get bumped back down to hspa. Like I said, you have to weigh the risks. I am fine with how it is working now. My post probably hasn't helped you get you where you want to go but it may help you to be content with what you have or may consider flashing an international rom minus modem and see if that helps.

I as well am on Straight Talk At&t micro sim and I get pretty decent speeds I believe Straight Talk cap's their LTE speeds at 15 down and I think around 8-9 up which ain't bad for the Chicago area. But there are times where I barely get 2 down and 4 up. I also have a Tmobile Note 3 stock/rooted using a ST sim.

Tmobile Note 3 on ATT Network
I have a Tmobile unlocked phone on ATT and I can't find out anyway to speed up the LTE. I get LTE it seems, but it cuts the speed in half compared to my girlfriend ATT variant Note 3. I tried to flash an AT&T modem to it, but then it would soft brick the device and wouldn't boot. I have tried every APN I can think of, but still no success. I have tried the build.prop, like adding the lines for faster data tweak, but still nothing is getting better. I have full bars, but speed is slow. Do you have any suggestions on what to do, b/c I am out of options. Thanks.
Add me to the list. Just switched over to AT&T from T-mobile, but get very bad speeds. The only reason why I switched over was because with T-mobile, I was getting poor quality signal almost EVERYWHERE, so I had no choice.
I'm curious; if the bands in our phones support the proper AT&T bands and we actually get LTE, it's gotta be a software issue. Modem most likely.
Yeah im sure it has to do with the way the modem is optimized for ATT's 1700 band. I'm also in the same boat and have flashed ATT's modem but it doesn't work. Others have flashed ATT modems but I dont think anyone has been able to successfully see their baseband change in the settings so no one can say whether it worked for sure. I can tell you that the bars have nothing to do with your call signal though, its just your LTE signal strength. If you really want higher signal in your house if LTE seems to drop or be super slow, you should manually switch over to use HSPA+ in your house. Its a pain...i know.
I'm hoping eventually the newer modems fix the 1700 mhz frequency optimization or some devs figure out how to successfully flash N900A modems on the N900T.
LTE speeds
I have great signal almost always it seems like. I have full bars on LTE or 4G/HSPA+, but if I put my sim card in my AT&T variant note I get at least twice as much throughput than with the note 3 tmobile. It has to be a software issue, I have tried to flash att modems with no success. Just got to wait for a tweaked modem. I have even tried tweaking build.prop file and it works a little bit but not much. It is just weird I have full bars with LTE, but I won't be able to get data sometimes, which is really weird. I think there has to be something with the signal bars showing higher dbm that it actually is receiving. Probably another software glitch. Well if anyone has any insight on this issue let us know, please been looking everywhere.
LTE speeds
I think also that the modem is not the only issue. I flashed a kernel today after being on the stock kernel on the T-Mobile and I did a speedtest and the speeds were really low. Flashed another kernel and boom faster speeds back to where I was, maybe higher, but I will monitor to see what happens. But I read that Kernels do affect data speeds sometimes. I am just going to keep looking around to see if any kernels work.

Is there any tweaks that can be done to kinda help the LTE or at least fix my signal bars showing full all the time. I am thinking it is not switching towers when it is supposed to and giving a false signal strength. Is there anything on modifying like you can on Sprint phones with dbm on wimax, where it will switch antennas.

I upgraded the modem and bootloader to the new NE6 version. I'm on Temasek CM11. My observations:
Signal strength is slightly better. Speeds are definitely much better. Prior to the upgrade, I'd get around 6-15/down, 3/up. Now I consistently get 25/down, 10/up.

How did you get the new modem to stick? Did you do the triangle away method? If so, did you have to revert to a stock kernel first? I'm trying to upgrade only the modem and leave the bootloader as is. Is that a bad idea?
